“Other Side Of The World”-KT Tunstall

“Other Side Of The World”-KT Tunstall

I’ve been hearing this song at work a lot, and it’s rare, very rare, that a song actually makes me stop what I’m doing to listen. But this song is SO beautiful that you can’t help it. It’s not remarkable in musical terms, but it doesn’t matter. It’s beautiful. Listen. KT’s voice is an instrument in a way that few singers’ voices are. Her harmonies are pure, the lyrics are simple but effective. There’s not much else I can say about it, but rave about how beautiful the song is. Download it and hear it for yourself!

“This is the end, beautiful friend…” and with that Jim Morrison send off, I’m out. Cheers one and all! Adam

500 Songs For Kids, CJ’s Landing, My old computer’s unexpected death…

Good day boys ‘n’ girls,

It is with a hint of sadness that I write this as my old computer, my faithful Mac PowerBook G4 12″ has finally died. The hard drive just couldn’t take it anymore and saw fit to stop keeping on keeping on. However, my consolation prize was/is the new Mac Book Pro that I’m now writing this on. Damn, the display on this thing is beautiful!

I’d also like to thank you guys who came out to Smith’s Olde Bar last week. You guys were a lot of fun and I enjoyed every minute of it (even when my gear decided to fail!)

I also got a lot of compliments on the “iPod+Lonliness” blog. I didn’t expect as many people to agree with me as did, so again, thank you for the kind comments!

OTHER STUFF THAT YOU’LL LOVE IF YOU’RE COOL
—————————————————————————-
jazzrocksoul”’s music is DONE! All mastered and ready to go, and the artwork is rapidly approaching the finishing
point. I’m looking at a late-June release date, which i’ll announce very soon!

’ll be playing a gig at Smith’s Olde Bar called “500 Songs For Kids,” a charity project assembled by Josh Rifkind and a team of very hard working people (I know because I’ve watched them sit for HOURS at the same table at Park Tavern while I work!). The gig will be taking place in the first week of May and entails several local artists covering
each of the songs on Rolling Stone’s list of the “500 Greatest Songs Ever Written” (god I LOVE lists like that :^P )
